ok, CB. Here's one for you- Hot Chip or Springsteen?

Thanks for joining me Pete 🙂

According to its bio on Deezer, remakes look like the trademark of Hot Chip.

The boss remains the boss for me too... Hot Chip version lacks of energy to my ears.

...that Hot Chip version is really interesting

My appreciation is only based on the music. Do the lyrics add something more?

And now the difficult actual question... Why?

It’s Springsteen and anyone would find it hard to improve on his version of his own songs (although he managed it himself with the ghost of Tom Joad).

Original is generally best for me.

He’s called the boss and very few people dispute the title.

Just my view.

From what I can tell, the lyrics are mostly samesame. 

I really like the synth loop, and what's either a competing synth, or maybe guitar?  Also, the beat is faster with both live drums and drum machine.  You could call it a dance-mix version, but I think it's definitely a different direction, and that's always cool.  Who wants to hear some dude covering it with a bad Springsteen impression?  blecch.

bought an LP copy a couple weeks ago at Accord, and finally listening to it.  Not as good as the Hammersmith Odeon live show in '75, as it's a mishmash of 10 years.  It's still Bruce live!  Rock solid.
